I don't find this extremely confusing (if it's a change to the code, it's not weird to see it in the changelog; filtering out things exposes us to bugs in the filtering process, which may hide important information) but I think that there is another confusing part. In this page: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/why-does-mariadb-102-use-innodb-instead-of-xtradb/
I read: "Note, we still consider incorporating XtraDB optimizations, but as patches, rather than XtraDB as a whole" But then, it is not clear what exactly is or is not in MariaDB's InnoDB. Percona has a nice list of features: https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/LATEST/index.html It would be useful to have a list of which changes are applied to MariaDB's InnoDB. Hope it is not too hard to maintain.
